AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Rotorcraft have problems such as insufficient capacity and short transportation time in long-term and large-load logistics transportation, mainly due to large power losses, short load capacity, range and battery life.

Method used

By adding the lift wing on the rotorcraft and measuring the air flow angle using the angle of attack, adjusting the angle between the lift wing and the rotor to achieve the optimal lift-resistance ratio of the lift wing, thereby reducing the power loss of the rotor.

Benefits of technology

It improves the load capacity, endurance and range of the rotorcraft, extends the flight time, and reduces power consumption during flight.

Abstract

Provided are an aircraft control method and a rotorcraft. The method comprises: acquiring a current angle of attack of a lift-enhancing wing (60) by means of an angle-of-attack sensor (70); according to the current attack angle and a set angle relationship, calculating a target included angle between the lift-enhancing wing and a rotor wing (50), the set angle relationship being an association relationship between the included angle, between the lift-enhancing wing and the rotor wing, and the attack angle; by means of an angle adjuster, adjusting the included angle between the lift-enhancing wing and the rotor wing of the rotorcraft to be a target included angle; and when the included angle between the lift-enhancing wing and the rotor wing is the target included angle, correspondingly adjusting an angle of attack of the lift-enhancing wing to be an optimal angle of attack. The control method achieves the optimal lift-drag ratio working condition of lift-enhancing wings, reduces the power consumption of rotor wings, and improves the load capacity, the endurance time and the endurance mileage of rotorcrafts.
